ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF TOWER CRANE

Abstract

The research deals with various types of tower cranes and the adoption of appropriate type to be analyzed and designed to resist the loads, affecting the static load, the load resulting from the case, the Self-load and the load used to balance the tower. In addition to the payload side resulting from the impact of wind on the tower, the tower is also to produce a dynamic payload of the movement crane. The Research also includes suggestion about the suitable geometric shape to carry the above-mentioned loads. The research discusses methods of analyzes of tower by using the computer in order to obtain the forces acting on the tower, as well as members of the forces transmitted to the base of the tower .In light of this the design will be to the tower and its base. The Design is in accordance with the results of the analysis using any specifications for the design of cranes. Design also includes the design of the tower base to include a safety in terms of consistency, and load the following on it.
